The Masonic Foundation was established in 1989 in order to create a
more formal structure for the benevolent activities of Freemasonry in South Australia and
the Northern Territory.

It has been clearly established as the charitable arm of Freemasonry
and likewise the major fundraising arm of Freemasonry.

The success story of the Foundation is the impact it has had in
caring in so many areas of need in providing assistance in conjunction with Freemasons
lodges to local communities, clearly putting into practice one of the principle purposes
of freemasonry's existence that being charity.

A registered charitable organisation, the Foundation administers two
major funds, the General Fund and the Special Projects Fund.

The Foundation provides charitable grants to persons or
organisations in need on an annual basis. Applications for assistance can be directed
through any Freemasons lodge or direct to The Masonic Foundation Inc. 2/262 Grange Road,
Flinders Park SA 5025, Email masfound@senet.com.au.
